In addition to the two new, lighter PS5, Sony is said to have further plans for a third model. An amazing console that would be inspired by the classic PlayStation 5 and the Digital Edition.
It’s common to see multiple revisions of a console during its lifecycle. The PS5 will host two lighter models, but the Japanese manufacturer wants to go much further…
A new PS5 in preparation?
For launching his website insider gaming, Tom Henderson begins with a scoop concerning Sony. The Japanese company plans to launch a new PS5 by September 2023. A more powerful PlayStation 5 Pro or a more compact Slim? Still not, but a much more surprising variant.
As a matter of fact, This PS5 would have a detachable Blu-ray player according to the insider. If the reader gave up the ghost, Sony would have already planned everything with individually available readers. In other words, it would be the equivalent of the current Digital Edition model, but with the ability to add a Blu-ray player. According to Henderson, the console’s design wouldn’t be marred, as peripherals could be connected via an additional new USB-C port on the back.
A new PS5 that could be even thinner and lighter than the last iterations. This version, dubbed the “PlayStation 5 D Chassis,” would serve as the base for production, and the A, B, and C chassis would be doomed. According to reports, Sony intends to produce 18.5 million units of this D-frame in fiscal 2023 and only 12 million PS5s with the A, B, and C frames to be phased out.
At the moment the positioning of this offer is not very clear and we have to see at what price Sony wants to sell it. It is recalled that the company decided to increase the price of the PS5.
